decided,why not give a try for our biryanis, curries and stews with the slow cooker. We got a brand new, bl

be ideal for couples and 4 people can have a meal at a time. Myself and my husband had it for dinner and r
for next day 's lunch.And the slow cooker...is really worth the buy! Looking forward to cook soups,stews an

Follow the steps in accordance to get it right :-)
1. Fry the onions in the oil until they become golden brown and strain the excess oil. Reserve the oil, do not
2. Clean and wash the chicken and drain the excess water. Add all the ingredients mentioned in the, to mari
chicken. Also add the oil reserved which we got in step 1, 1/2 of the fried onions and half of the chopped cor
green chillies to the chicken. The oil gives nice flavour and aroma to the biry ani.Mix everything with your h
sure each chicken piece is coated well with the masalas. You can also taste the marinade,if you feel anythin
add them to y our convenience and pop it into the fridge. Allow it to marinate for 2-4 hours or overnight. Th
better!
3. Once the chicken is marinated, take it out of the fridge and allow it to rest for a while so that the st iffnes
to the chillness go away.
4. Take a pan and fry the chicken in it for just 5 minutes. (This is because you cannot put the raw meat dir
cooker, as per the cookbook instructions)
5. Preheat the slow cooker along with the cookpot in high mode for 20 minutes (This should be done with n
in the cookpot, just the empty pot)
6. Wash the rice in the water twice and drain the water completely. Now take the rice along with the ingred
in, for the rice list in a microwave oven safe bowl and microwave it for 15 minutes in high mode or a little lo
until there is not water left in the bowl. Stir the contents once in 10 minutes just to even the cooking of rice
you can also check the amount of water left in the bowl. The rice will be 50% - 60% cooked at the end as w
1:1 rice and water (The perfect consistency we need for the dum)

12. Now turn the slow cooker mode to low and cook it for 3 1/2 to 4 hours.
13. You can open it after 1 1/2 hours and give a light stir on the top just to prevent the rice from drying out
the rice and chicken together at this stage. You can sprinkle some water on top if you feel that the r ice is ve
whole house will be filled with the wonderful aroma by now.
14. T urn off the cooker after 4 hours and take the cookpot out and stir the r ice and chicken together gently
the rice.
You will see the meat coming off the bones and will be juicy and tender to the core.
Serve it hot with boiled eggs,chicken fry and onion,cucumber, y oghurt salad.
Note
* Following the steps in order will get you the perfect biryani.
* Do not cook the rice very early because it might get mushy and sticky , if you leave it outside for a long tim
* You can also cook the rice in 7-8 cups of water on the stove and strain the excess water once the rice is c
wash the rice with cold water to prevent further cooking. But trust me, this never worked for me, you need
experience though! You can reserve a cup of the strained water and add it along with ghee and spread on t
layers.
